Last night’s NatWest T20 Blast match between Leicestershire Foxes and Worcestershire Rapids was called off.

The Foxes released a statement confirming the abandonment, which was confirmed almost six hours before the game was due to start. It said: “Aylestone was affected by flash flooding on Tuesday and the Fischer County Ground resembled a lake with the water subsequently gathering in the far corner of the ground.

“Further rain has fallen either side of that particular deluge and although the club brought in heaters to try to dry everywhere out, conditions remain sodden and unfit.”

Remarkably, Wednesday’s Royal London Cup game between the sides at New Road also had to be abandoned after torrential rain in the Midlands.
